The NatWest Accelerator Pitch will be awarding prizes of up to £70,000 to the winning entrepreneurs in this competition. To apply, you need to submit a 60-second video outlining how financial support would aid the expansion of your business. If selected, you will then need to compete in a live event where five finalists will each deliver a 10-minute pitch to a panel of industry experts. You will be assessed on your successes so far and your plans for growth.
There will be a series of live events, each offering a £70,000 first prize, £20,000 second prize and £10,000 third prize.
The competition is open to UK registered limited companies that started trading between 1 January 2019 and 1 January 2024. You need to be 18 or over and a UK resident.
